Atos 16

1 E chegou a Derbe e Lystra. E eis que estava ali um certo discipulo por nome Timotheo, filho de uma mulher judia fiel, mas de pae grego:

And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but whose father was a Greek;

2 Do qual davam bom testemunho os irmãos que estavam em Lystra e em Iconio.

who was well a spoken of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.

3 Paulo quiz que este fosse com elle: e tomando-o, o circumcidou, por causa dos judeos que estavam n'aquelles logares; porque todos sabiam que seu pae era grego.

Him Paul wished to go forth with him, and took and circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 E, quando iam passando pelas cidades, lhes entregavam, para serem observados, os decretos que haviam sido estabelecidos pelos apostolos e anciãos em Jerusalem.

And as they journeyed through the cities, they delivered to them for their observance the decrees which had been ordained by the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.

5 De sorte que as egrejas eram confirmadas na fé, e cada dia se augmentavam em numero.

The churches therefore were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

6 E, passando pela Phrygia e pela provincia da Galacia, foram impedidos pelo Espirito Sancto de annunciar a palavra na Asia.

And having gone through Phrygia and the Galatian country, on being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,

7 E, quando chegaram a Mysia, intentavam ir para Bithynia, porém o Espirito não lh'o permittiu.

they came to Mysia, and were attempting to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.

8 E, passando por Mysia, desceram a Troas.

And passing by Mysia, they came to Troas.

9 E Paulo viu de noite uma visão, em que se apresentou um varão da Macedonia, e lhe rogou, dizendo: Passa á Macedonia, e ajuda-nos.

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia beseeching him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.

10 E, logo que viu a visão, procurámos partir para a Macedonia, concluindo que o Senhor nos chamava para lhes annunciarmos o evangelho.

And when he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to publish the glad tidings to them.

11 E, navegando de Troas, fomos correndo caminho direito para Samothracia, e no dia seguinte para Napoles;

And setting sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;

12 E d'ali para Philippos, que é a primeira cidade d'esta parte da Macedonia, e é uma colonia; e estivemos alguns dias n'aquella cidade.

and thence to Philippi, which is a chief city of the province of Macedonia, a colony. And we remained in the city some days.

13 E no dia de sabbado saimos fóra da cidade para o rio, onde se costumava fazer oração; e, assentando-nos, fallámos ás mulheres que ali se ajuntaram.

And on the sabbath-day we went forth out of the gate to a river-side, where was wont to be a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had assembled.

14 E uma certa mulher, chamada Lydia, vendedora de purpura, da cidade de Thyatira, e que servia a Deus, nos ouvia, e o Senhor lhe abriu o coração para que estivesse attenta ao que Paulo dizia.

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, was listening; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were spoken by Paul.

15 E, depois que foi baptizada, ella e a sua casa, nos rogou, dizendo: Se haveis julgado que eu seja fiel ao Senhor, entrae em minha casa, e ficae ali. E nos constrangeu a isso.

And when she had been baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide. And she constrained us.

16 E aconteceu que, indo nós á oração, nos saiu ao encontro uma moça que tinha espirito de adivinhação, a qual, adivinhando, dava grande lucro aos seus senhores.

And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain bond-maid having a soothsaying spirit met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

17 Esta, seguindo a Paulo e a nós, clamava, dizendo: Estes homens, que nos annunciam o caminho da salvação, são servos do Deus Altissimo.

This woman followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who announce to you the way of salvation.

18 E ella fazia isto por muitos dias. Porém, descontentando isto a Paulo, voltou-se, e disse ao espirito: Em nome de Jesus Christo, te mando que saias d'ella. E na mesma hora saiu.

And this she did for many days. But Paul, being much displeased, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out immediately.

19 E, vendo seus senhores que a esperança do seu lucro estava perdida, pegaram de Paulo e Silas, e os levaram á praça, á presença dos magistrados.

But her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, laid hold of Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market-place to the rulers;

20 E, apresentando-os aos magistrados, disseram: Estes homens, sendo judeos, perturbaram a nossa cidade,

and having brought them before the magistrates, said, These men are grievously disturbing our city, being Jews;

21 E prégam ritos que nos não é licito receber nem praticar, visto que somos romanos.

and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.

22 E a multidão se levantou juntamente contra elles, e os magistrados, rasgando-lhes os vestidos, mandaram açoital-os com varas,

And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;

23 E, havendo-lhes dado muitos açoites, os lançaram na prisão, mandando ao carcereiro que os guardasse com segurança.

and when they had laid on them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely;

24 O qual, tendo recebido tal ordem, os lançou no carcere mais interior, e lhes segurou os pés no tronco.

who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25 E, perto da meia noite, Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hymnos a Deus, e os outros presos os escutavam.

But at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.

26 E de repente sobreveiu um tão grande terremoto, que os alicerces do carcere se moveram, e logo se abriram todas as portas e se soltaram as prisões de todos.

And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bands of all were loosed.

27 E, acordando o carcereiro, e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirando da espada, quiz matar-se, cuidando que os presos já tinham fugido.

And the jailer awakening out of sleep, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

28 Porém Paulo clamou com grande voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, que todos aqui estamos.

But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.

29 E, pedindo luz, saltou dentro, e, todo tremendo, se prostrou aos pés de Paulo e Silas.

Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;

30 E, tirando-os para fóra, disse: Senhores, que me é necessario fazer para me salvar?

and having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 E elles disseram: Crê no Senhor Jesus Christo, e serás salvo, tu e a tua casa.

And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou wilt be saved, and thy household.

32 E lhe fallavam a palavra do Senhor, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.

And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

33 E, tomando-os elle comsigo n'aquella mesma hora da noite, lavou-lhes os açoites; e logo foi baptizado, elle e todos os seus.

And he took them with him at that hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and he was immediately baptized, himself and all that belonged to him.

34 E, levando-os a sua casa, lhes poz a mesa; e, crendo em Deus, alegrou-se com toda a sua casa.

And when he had brought them up into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced with all his house, having become a believer in God.

35 E, sendo já dia, os magistrados mandaram quadrilheiros, dizendo: Soltae aquelles homens.

And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.

36 E o carcereiro annunciou a Paulo estas palavras, dizendo: Os magistrados mandaram que vos soltasse; agora pois sahi, e ide em paz.

And the jailer reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you; now therefore come out, and go in peace.

37 Porém Paulo disse-lhes: Açoitaram-nos publicamente e, sem ser sentenciados, sendo homens romanos, nos lançaram na prisão, e agora encobertamente nos lançam fóra? Não será assim; mas venham elles mesmos e tirem-nos para fóra.

But Paul said to them, They have publicly beaten us uncondemned, although we are Romans, and have thrust us into prison; and now do they thrust us out secretly? No; but let them come themselves, and bring us out.

38 E os quadrilheiros foram dizer aos magistrados estas palavras; e elles temeram, ouvindo que eram romanos.

And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

39 E, vindo, lhes rogaram; e, tirando-os para fóra, lhes pediram que saissem da cidade.

And they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they entreated them to leave the city.

40 E, saindo da prisão, entraram em casa de Lydia, e, vendo os irmãos, os confortaram, e depois partiram.

And when they had come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they saw the brethren, they exhorted them, and departed.
